“Napoleon in Iowa” was a four-part multi-state television campaign created for Travel Iowa and ZLR Ignition during an accelerated one-month pre-production process for the 2015 vacation season. Our task was to create a memorable campaign that would highlight the state’s unsung qualities while standing apart from the usual tourism commercial. Our answer was to send Napoleon Bonaparte to…

Not every product is easy to describe. Sometimes you just need a giant felt costume. When challenged by software startup Workiva to come up with a humorous webvideo to explain their wDesk suite, we came up with a universe in which the pitfalls of version control are acted out in life size.

The film was designed to emphasis the importance of mass transit in the lives of everyday people. It features a mix of candid and staged imagery.

The project that started it all, Iowa Nice was a short web-film we created during the 2012 Iowa Caucuses as a response to national coverage of our state. It began as a weekend side-project, but by the time it was filmed and edited 48 hours later, we knew we had something potent on our hands. As crazy as…
